13112014


Nifty opened near PDC. IR formed. Never expected such a fall and missed the bus. There were too many supports to break. Did not traded the up move also. Looked for a short at BRN . But price was making a BW for a while. Finally shorted below BRN when price fell below all the major levels. Target was LOD. But it moved further to RN. Covered above the pin bar

    1. Vertical momentum moves rarely exceed 50 points. Look at todays two falls
      8430-8380 and 8400-8350.Look at yesterday morning move 8400-8450. Further moves will be after some consolidation. Price almost hit RN 8350 a major area which can act as support.
      Zoom out your charts and see from where the last up move started. It was from 8350 area. So took my profit

  4. Hi ST,
    Is the pin bar an electric fence bar, I took the trade but exited too late. Took a couple of blunder trades prior to that too after missing the down move, but scratched and escaped without much damage. Before exiting over the pin bar, where was your SL? What gave you the confidence to exit over the pin bar instead of waiting for some congestion and crash further? Was it because of the strong support at the high of 31st followed by the multiday congestion low.

  6. ST,

    Can we shourt below 11.42 bar where three try to go above 8400 failed and it broke swing low down side.. i trapped there.

    Secondly where you put your entry price while entering below 8400 .. didnt you feel that it was barbwire around BRN at that time. ?

    I also did not take first short as PDC, PDL and BRN was there initially. By the time it crossed these barriers 40 pt move already.took place. However I took up move above the high of 10:06 bar and exit 8398.5 below BRN. However I did go long BPB above 11:15 bar high in 11:30 bar. This resulted as trap. I saw your reply to Bharat. Should we not consider this as trap and short below low of 11:42 bar.

    1. A trap is a with the trend trade. Price was making HH/HL
      TRAP here can only be a long trade. Why should we take trades within such a congestion zone?
      Let price move away from the area and give a trade with a lot of space. Better to look for one or two good swings.
      Avoid mediocre trades. If you lose two trades it is 10+10+3+3=26 points including commission. Even if you get 29 points on the next trade, there is nothing to take home

    2. Thanks for clarifying trap. I fully agree with you in avoiding mediocre trades. Still I find difficult to identify the trade as mediocre. That is the problem.
